As the development of knowledge economy, the knowledge has become critical resources and key elements of enterprise development. Due to the global development and the changeable competition environment, modern enterprises no longer depend on their own knowledge and technology study and development, but also must get new knowledge from outside and acquire their own competition predominances by way of coping with the fierce market competition and keeping their own predominances. Meanwhile, the positive influence of advanced outside knowledge resources transfer to promote the high-technology industry development and regional economies has come to rise increasingly. In this case, Virtual Enterpriseobtains competition predominances in the aspects of management, knowledge technology and resources, etc by the enterprise key ability and resources integration. By the way of sharing market chances and customs to realise the win-win goal, it can also get competition predominances from the fierce market. Knowledge Transfer is through the whole cycle of Virtual Enterpriseand the cooperation process of Virtual Enterpriseis actually the process of Knowledge Transfer. Therefore, the effective Knowledge Transfer can improve the operating efficiency of Virtual Enterpriseand independent innovation of member enterprise. The key to core company of Virtual Enterpriseis how to guarantee the effective practice of cross organizational Knowledge Transfer. Consequently, it is important to study the activity of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer.The study key of this paper is the related mechanism and actual utility of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer. Initially, this paper focuses on the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer and its related question, and to analyse the related references at home and abroad from some aspects like the related conception of Virtual Enterpriseorganized mode and Knowledge Transfer, the influence factor of Knowledge Transfer, the mechanism and game of Knowledge Transfer and related Knowledge Transfer utility. Furthermore, by analysing the feature of Virtual Enterprise, Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's ability, process, mode and net feature,etc, to make a foundation for the further study in the future. Last but not least, this paper studies further about the body from three aspects:firtst is to study the main factor of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer by adopting dynamic simulation mode method; second is to study the related promoting mechanisms of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer by analysing the game relation based on the body of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledg Transfer and constructing evolutionary game simulation mode to have simulation analysis; third is to study the actual utility of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer by improving independent innovation ability of inner utility and promoting the outer utility of high-technology enterprise increasing economy. By the way of simulation analysis, theory study method and positive study, this paper gets the following conclusions:(1) The thesis analyses the Virtual Enterprisein the aspect of connotation, property, type and organization feature. Then through combing Virtual Enterprise's property, it analyses and summarizes Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer in the aspect of the origin of knowledge, the ability of Knowledge Transfer, the general process of Knowledge Transfer and etc systematically; it further generalizes and puts forward four major models of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer which bases on the complementation relation of knowledge resources, like assignment-guide level complement assignment-guide vertical complement relation-guide level complement and relation-guide vertical complement. Finally, according to the connotation of Virtual Enterprise's net organization, combining the net model of the small and middle world in the complicated net, it analyses and gives models to the net property of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer. And through the simulate ways of internet, it proofs that the ability and effciency of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer can be improved once the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer net matches the property of small net world well and the communication frequency and enterprise's assemble degress can be improved in the small net world.(2) Through inductive analysis, summary and creation of a Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer factor concept model is made based on previous studies. Also 12 factors that influencing enterprise Knowledge Transfer activity are put forward. Analysis and is also created using systematic dynamic studies on the study of the transferring of knowledge. Verification is made on the influencing factor analysis model on Vensim PLE platform. Finally, through the main factor analysis to the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer further empirical analysis of the factors affecting Knowledge Transfer, it is concluded that the Virtual Enterprisemainly influenced by motivation factor, trust factor, ability factor, mechanism factors, knowledge factor and situational factors. The results provide reference and basis for the follow-up research of the Virtual Enterprisegame relation and mechanism.(3) This paper studies the dice game of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, applying the traditional game theory, and builds a Virtual Enterprisemodel of Knowledge Transfer in cooperative and competitive game. Based on evolutionary game theory, and on the analysis of evolutionary game, it combines with computer simulation, and through NetLogo simulation platform, to simulate the evolution of Knowledge Transfer in virtual trend of Virtual Enterprisemembers'asymmetrical Knowledge Transfer behavior between the evolutionary stable strategy and incentive mechanism and simulation game. The results confirm the influence of virtual Knowledge Transfer factors promoting or hindering the role, but also reflect the internal mechanism of the Knowledge Transfer activities in Virtual Enterpriseand draw the corresponding conclusions. On this basis, and puts forward the promoting mechanism of Knowledge Transfer in Virtual Enterprisesystem, including its trust mechanism in the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, coordination mechanisms for Knowledge Transfer, and incentive mechanism of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer. Finally, it summarizes management strategies of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, which provides theoretical and practical basis for developing effective management strategies in Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer activities in China.(4) On the basis of qualitative analysis about Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer making effects to the independent innovation ability of membership enterprise, and through questionnaire to get sample data, it applies structure equation to do demonstrational analysis. The result demonstrates that in the process of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer the inter and outer knowledge get complemented and harmony effciently. And under this basis, making the best use of independent innovation effect, it proofs that the smooth implementation of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer will make a positive effect to the technological innovation and knowledge innovation of the membership enterprise. And what's more, the effect to the technological innovation is much more stronger than to the knowledge innovation, while the assumption that a smooth implementation of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer will lead a positive effect to the enterprise's management innovation is false.(5) Based on the qualitative analysis of virtual enterprises Knowledge Transfer in promoting the development of high-tech industry, adopting the relevant statistical information during a 10-year period of 2000-2009 as the sample data, the use of production function model was established to promote Knowledge Transfer on the Virtual EnterpriseEmpirical Analysis of high-tech industry regression model. It takes the panel data in "high-tech industry in China Statistical Yearbook", "China Statistical Yearbook" and other statistics of 26 provinces and cities, and regression analyzing from the two aspects of overall and regions. And it discusses the effectiveness of the in economic growth of high-tech industry. The results show that the effectiveness of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer to the entire economic growth of high-tech industries is significant. However, due to the imbalanced development of China's regional economy, technology, and educational level, it leads to different needs and different level of activity of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer in every region, so that it has a "vary" phenomenon on the effectiveness of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, which leads to a "strong west to east" pattern on the implementation of Knowledge Transfer in China. Finally, on the basis of the empirical analysis, it proposes suggestions and strategies of increasing the independent innovation ability of the members and promoting the development of high-tech industry, and provides a theoretical basis and practical support for the policy of promoting the overall effectiveness of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer.Compared with the similar study in home and abroad, this paper has some study innovation in the aspects as follows:(1) this paper founds a conceptual model of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's effect factor which puts forward 12 main factors effecting Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer. On the basis of qualitative analysis, this paper adopts systematic modeling to emulationally validate the model of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's effect factor and brings out some corresponding conclusions. Then it acquire a lot of first-hand data about Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, by the means of field Research, interviews, and questionnaire. On the fundamental of these, it puts up Factor analysis on the main factors of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, using qualitative analysis combined with quantitative analysis and SPSS, a statistical analysis software. After finding out different influencing degree of different factors of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, it analyses each main factor which affecting Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer in the positive viewpoint. Finally it turns out that the main factors, which affect Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, are incentive factor, trustful factor, ability factor, mechanism factor, knowledge factor, situation factor.(2) This thesis analyses the interests of each participant in the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer activity from the perspective of Game theory, on this basis, apply Evolutionary Game Theory to analyses the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer activity and adopt multi-Agent technology to construct computer simulation model on the netlogo simulation platform, conducting a simulation analysis to it. Actually, because of the influence produced by the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer to the interests relationship between each behavior participant, the study method which combine the Game analysis and the simulation analysis can learn the characteristics and inner mechanism of enterprise Knowledge Transfer more comprehensive, moreover, the mechanism design based on the game theory and simulation analysis can be more targeted to solve the problems existed in the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer activity and foster the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer go smoothly. Thus, it is really necessary to design related mechanism on the basis of game theory and multi-Agent simulation analysis; therefore, the study in this thesis has certain theoretical value and innovation significance.(3) According to the inside and outside environment of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer, this paper focus on theoretic analysis and demonstrable study, in the viewpoint of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's inside avail on membership-enterprise's ability of independent innovation and the outside avail of high-tech industry's development. To ensure the objectivity, precision and veracity of demonstrable study, the study on Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's inside avail mainly depend on the form of questionnaire and interview, via structural equation and other metrology method. As to the outside avail of high-tech industry's development, the study adopts a decade's regional correlative panel- statistics, from 2000 to 2009, to analyze. Moreover, this paper also analyses the east, midland and west by different regionalism, in order to fully understand the actual avail of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer in different region. By the demonstrable study, I know more about the actual avail of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer and broaden the channel of study. And the demonstrable study on Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer's inside avail indicate that the Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer play an important role in enhancing the ability of independent innovation and promoting the high-tech industry's economic development. Although Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer play a more important role in the east than in the midland and west, because of difference in economic development. Compared with other study in home and abroad, this paper's outcome is more general and of more actual value.However, as data lacking of the study on Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer outer utility, the Knowledge Transfer utility of some regions are not studied. In the future, the practical research will be taken to get the first-hand information and avoid the distric blank in the study. Besides, the game body of Knowledge Transfer behavior can be expanded and combining with the government body to do the research in the game research. Meanwhile, in the aspect of simulation analysis, the complex system of model method can be taken and every aspect of influence factor both from inner and outer of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer will be considered to construct simulation system based on the practice of Virtual EnterpriseKnowledge Transfer.
